Hey all,
I've been using galaxy R for couple of months now and i've started to face this problem from a week.I have observed that after i add new images (jpg) to usb storage they dont appear in the gallery after the media scan.I've tried restart and clear data for gallery app but nothing seems to work.
I can very well see the images in myfiles or astro file manager, also tried quickpic and it displays the newly added images correctly.Also if try to open images from filemanager using gallery app,takes long time to open any image which is again not the case with quick pic.
I really need the default gallery app very badly.
Thanks.
Check if there aren't any other files in your image folder. Sometimes noimage.dat or other file appears out out nowhere and it causes the gallery problem. Delete that file if it is the case + try to not keep other file-types in your pics folder.
Well I've checked it and there are no such files neither hidden one. Also i've completely deleted the previous folder and copied to a new folder.But looks like gallery is freezed except for the camera folder and images downloaded through internet only gets updated.I've deleted entire contents of cache folder in data/cooliris but does not work.In fact previous images turned black.I dont seem to understand whats going on with the gallery.
maybe try a factory reset
I have the 4.2 camera from the nexus installed and if i take a picture it saves it to the internal storage of the phone. i have atooma set up to move the file to my sd card. my problem is that when i go to the gallery to view images the pictures dont show up the icon does but it isnt the picture i took. is there anything i can do to fix this any help would be great
ived tried almost every possible way to set it up but the image doesnt show up :/
Not sure if it's the device or kitkat 4.4.2 sepifically? I've been using Vaulty in the past on previous device on android 4.2 and worked fine. I have private photos saved on my external sd card but want them hidden on my device. The stock gallery photo app shows everything, trying to avoid this. I know in the gallery app you can choose to not show certain folders but anyone can toggle this feature.
Basically want to hide the pictures i have on my sd card. I installed Vaulty which does not hide anything on this device. I found an app Gallery Lock lite which does but as soon as i reboot my device the "hidden" pictures are again visible in the stock gallery photo app. Any ideas on this? I have the private photos now saved in the Gallery Lock lite app so maybe now just delete them off my SD card and they won't show on stock gallery photo app?
Then if i take private photos with the phone's camera i hide them with this app and if photo is still in gallery just delete and the app will still have a copy saved inside? Seems confusing on this thing when it was so simple on my previous device, HTC One X+.
Should be able to create a .nomedia file and put it in the directory where the pictures are. This will make the phone ignore that directory when scanning for media.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You could also simply edit the file name to some random file extension using es file explorer.. rename them all to .txt files.

5 best android apps to hide photos and videos
You can use apps to hide photos and video. And this's 5 best android apps to hide photos and videos
1. Hide Pictures Keep Safe Vault - is one of the best apps to lock away your personal pictures and videos with ease. The app makes it effortless to simply store away your videos and photos in a safe vault. The separate gallery is kept hidden from the regular ones. I have used the basic version of the app for a while and it worked perfectly.
2. Gallery Lock (Hide pictures) - is one of the most popular apps around for Android. Almost every friend of mine recommends this free app for daily usage. I was pleasantly suspired to see the robust feature list of this app. Gallery Lock comes with almost every feature you would want from an app that hides photos and videos for you.
3. Hide Something - Photo, Video - With Hide-Something, your public gallery remains available to your friends, family, and coworkers. And your hidden images are only for who can unlock. With Hide-Something, you can customize your gallery when you want to show different photos to different people. With Hide-Something, you can share your photos and videos easily, even hand over your cell phone to others and no worry about your privacy.
4. Gallery Vault - Hide Video&Photo - comes with a simple and understandable interface and a good design. You simply need to move the images to the GalleryVault and they will be kept safe behind a lock code. The app also has the option of making the launch icon hidden; virtually making it completely concealed from your device.
5. Hide Pictures & Videos - FotoX - allows you to store your private pictures and photos in a secret gallery. If you want, you can take a picture directly from the app itself and it will be stored instantly. It is a great way to avoid the extra work of manually selecting pictures and hiding them in a secret vault.
Coming from htc gallery im quite lost in s7 galley . Images transferred via BT or downloaded from emails are not showing up in gallery. No downloaded folder in gallery no settings at all. Am I missing something here?
For reall?? no one has problem with it? that's kind of stupid thing to see pictuers that came via BT in file explorer. And no option to save in gallery. When I moved them with native MyFile manager to camera or screenshot folder it will move them with no problem but still no show in gallery apk. Can someone please explain? Thanks
I was wondering if there is a way to move the default camera save location from DCIM to some other folder. Did anyone manage to do this? I am on stock OOS; and have magisk.
